WS 97

Wine Spectator, January 2007

Dark ruby color. Very complex aromas of crushed raspberry, violet and hints of toasty oak. Full-bodied, with very silky tannins and beautiful fresh mineral, licorice and blackberry character. Long and caressing. So fresh...

Wine Enthusiast, November 2003

Incredibly pure fruit defines the sturdy, entirely inviting nose. This is one juicy, rock steady wine; the tannic structure is that of a fortress. There’s unadulterated fruit at every checkpoint, and it hits like a hammer...

Jancis Robinson's Purple Pages, June 2009

Bright crimson. Fully evolved nose. Very fresh and lively - great balance and great zest - rather unlike current Brunello! A lovely palate scrub and refresher. 18/20

Fuligni is a family-owned estate on the eastern side of Montalcino. The vines, which extend over ten hectares, are primarily located at Cottimelli with altitudes varying from 1,250 to 1,500 feet. Average age of the vines is about twelve years with some dating back more than thirty years. The estate’s four vineyards are planted with Sangiovese, complemented by a small portion of Merlot.

The Fuligni range consists of the regular Brunello, a Brunello Riserva, a Rosso (Ginestreto), and an IGT Toscana made from a blend of Sangiovese and Merlot.
